Aptar's 2Q In Line With Our Expectations; Raising FVE on Time Value of Money
Second-quarter performance was decent for Aptar. The pharmaceuticals segment posted 8% organic sales growth on reasonably steady margins. The food and beverage segment returned to sales growth during the quarter, partially offset by falling sales in the beauty and home segment. While our near- and long-term outlooks remain largely unchanged, we've raised Aptar's fair value estimate to $75 from $73 to account for the time value of money since our last update. Our narrow moat rating is unchanged....
